Is there a way to enable HD Voice (WB-AMR) on the Nexus 5? For some weird reason, the Galaxy Nexus is supported by Rogers for HD Voice but not the Nexus 5.
Some people here have figured out how to enable it on the Galaxy S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2287992
But I can't figure out how to access the service menu on the Nexus 5 on 4.4.2... Or maybe it is already enabled but I can't check it?
Anyone who can figure this out will be the star of XDA's Nexus 5 forum!

it works fine on tmobile. its obvious when its connected, and sounds wonderful. theres no service menu, its just enabled.
It works out of the box on Tmobile. As the previous guy said, it's really obvious if it works.
I'm surprised on T-Mobile's End I had a full size sim from my Nexus s cut it into a micro sim and i was surprised to see LTE on an OLD sim card also HD voice does sound amazing its like landline quality but sounds better! but when it drops to EDGE or GPRS it sounds like [email protected] but oh well i got HSPA everywhere.
HD-Voice is bounds better than landline...i've only had it work between my mom's windows phone and my N5 on tmobile...at&t sounds like crap, all the other phones sound like crap too. I hope at&t enables it soon so I can actually understand my girlfriend better.
Works out of box here on Bell. You have to be talking to other people with HD voice enabled phones. Whenever I phone my brother on his HTC One it sounds amazing..it puts land lines to shame.
I think it needs to be support also via your carrier... but I think most of the carriers have them enabled...

Not in the US. Tmobile is the only one that has it. ATT is coming this year or sometime soon.

But there must be a service menu to figure out if AMR-WB is activated or not? For example, the S4 has HD Voice capability but people have figured out how to activate it in the service menu.

Does AMR-WB only work when LTE is activated? I get frequent call drops on my Nexus 5 and some people have gotten relief when they disable LTE and switch to 3G.

It is quite bizarre that on Rogers/Fido, Canada's largest network, they say that only certain phones support HD Voice. The Galaxy Nexus is supported but the Nexus 4 and 5 or not supported! I even called and asked!

Rogers/Fido offers HD Voice but I think that they have to add support on a individual device basis. It supports the Galaxy Nexus, but not the Nexus 4 or 5!
This is why I believe that there has got to be a way to access the Service menu on the Nexus 5 and activate AMR-WB support. People can do it on the S4!

That's weird. Clearly it does work on this phone on other carriers. Then again it is Rogers we're talking about, so I'm not surprised.

I want to know how to access the service menu to check if AMR-WB is on or not. Some test calls I've made (EE - UK) don't sound like it's working properly.

All solutions involving *#0011# and *#197328640# don't work. No idea what to do now :/
I was making some calls today, where I had LTE. The expected behaviour would be that the device switches to 3G for voice calls, but it seems to me like my N5 is using 2G. So it seems that despite being on a network which i know has working HD Voice, the Nexus 5 doesn't work. Bummer.
A lot of people claimed that HD voice is working for nexus 5. In my it did not (and my carrier supports this feature). Now, when android 5.1 released, there is an item in change log - provide support for HD voice. So no idea how this worked before, but will check it on 5.1 and hope it will work.

For me it is not working (despite carrier says it should). I am on 5.1 - same result.
I have OnePlus phone and HD Voice is working perfect - seems that it is phone or carrier issue.

I am using OnePlus phone on CM12.1 nightly build or Android 5.11. Do you need to do anything to enable HD Voice?
No, it just works.

Hi, I have a Verizon Edge that I am using on T-Mobile, I am getting LTE and everything but every time I receive or make calls my data stops working, any help to resolve this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

T-Mobile uses VoLTE (voice over) and it must be supported by software in its phones, if it isnt, it will switch to 4G (H/H+). Does the VZW NE support H/H+?

I have no idea, but i have alway seen 4g lte on it and on call data stops.
Note: i am only getting lte, no 3g, h/h+ and every time i am on call my mobile network type goes to UMTS.

Yup, even though Verizon LTE phones are unlocked out of the box they are not smooth sailing most of the time. They mess with them somehow to make some things inconvenient. You'll have to search around for the solution by people in the same boat as you. That's what I had to do when I was using the Droid Maxx on T-Mobile.

My advice to you would be to not limit yourself to searching only those with a note edge but instead expand your search to anyone using a Verizon LTE phone on t-mobile. It is usually something similar that is causing the problem therefore something similar that will resolve it.

The Note Edge only has 1 antenna and on Verizon phones you have to install and subscribe to Advanced calling in order to get simultaneous voice and data. And since Verizon's VoLTE requires Band 13 I believe, you are most likely going to be out of luck.
Anyone knows if it will be possible to make or take calls on the none 3g version when tethered to a phone?
I think the first generation gear s was able to do that but I can't find any information on the gear s2.
All the reviews mention that the 3g version is able to make calls when NOT tethered to a phone, no mention about the none 3g version when it is tethered to a phone.

You can make the call but the watch doesn't have a speaker so you won't be able to actually talk on it. You'll have to either pick up your phone or use a Bluetooth headset.

Is this verified or an assumption ? Do you currently own the watch?
The standard bluetooth models, regular and Classic, cannot make phone calls. There is no speaker on them. If you want to make calls from the watch you need to pick up the 3g model that comes out next month. That one has a speaker.
This is based on spec sheets. This is based on tutorial videos. And this is based on personal ownership and experience with an S2 Classic.

It's been verified by multiple sources. That's why I think I'm gonna skip this watch. Classic doesn't come in 3g and I'm not a fan of the way the sport version looks.

Yes, sounds like android wear is doing it today.
I wish they would do it like Apple is doing it with their watch. You can take and make calls regardless of the watch having 3g connectivity.
Sent from my SM-T715 using Tapatalk
If I see someone making a call on their watch and obviously the call will be on speaker you'll get a slap on the hand. If you're going to have a conversation don't be that guy and have it on speaker.
I rarely talk on the phone in public and when I do, it's NEVER on speaker. That's just obnoxious. I think it would be good for when I'm at the house and my phone is in another room and I can't get to it in time. I could answer on the speaker until grabbing my phone.

the Gear S2 cannot make or receive calls. if you get a call you will get a notification and if you slide to answer it tells you the call is on your phone. when you try to make a call it says that its dialing on your phone.
this is the deal breaker for me, Im returning it this Friday. the Gear 2 is much more functional while the Gear S2 just looks better.

It doesn't matter on the phone as the sport/classic doesn't have a speaker, only microphone so it won't be able to handle an actual call. It can initiate one and you can have the actual conversation on your handset
agreed, this is a huge deal breaker for me... just picked up a refurb gear s for $150. Now I wait for speakerphone support through android wear!

The LG Urbane 2 does this with android wear. However, it has its own Sim. Not sure if that it what you are looking for.

I think speaker support will be coming to Android Wear sooner than later. Thought I read that a tear down of the Huawei watch showed an unexplained speaker present in the watch.

Don't want/care about sim card support, not until carriers allow sim card cloning so your watch and phone have the same phone number. At this point, I want BT, WiFi, and voice calling.

You can make and receive calls with the T-Mobile S2. Not that I plan on doing that but nice feature to have. It also has 4G.
I've read that there was an update to the software for the gear s2. Was there an update to the gear s2 3g? I specifically have a verizon version of the 3g and i have not received any recent updates to the watch (i believe there was one a while back, but I do not have the latest updates that have been discussed for the classic and bluetooth sport versions of this watch.
Thank you!
I, too, am waiting for an update for my AT&T S2 3G. Because ours are carrier-specific, it seems to take longer for the updates, just like for carrier-branded phones. ?

I figured... though i don't see anything verizon specific on my watch the way I do on my phone.
I had one yesterday for my ATT one. It finally gives Numbersync as well as some battery enhancement and something else I forget. I was super happy to finally have Numbersync though. That completed this watch for me. (Well, that and then when Samsung pay works with the watch.)

Yes, I got that one too. But it's different from the one the other S2 models received. Their update gives more Setting options which I want on my S2 3G as well such as screen timeout.

Unlike my N4 I was wondering if the N7 has the option to be on a call and still be able to use data simultaneously... That was the biggest bummer for me with the Note 4.
I wanna upgrade to the N7 but it is a feature that is actually very useful, for when you are on a call and need to send a file or look something up on the internet..
thanks!

Nope. Sprint will not have this ability until it upgrades it's network to VoLTE. Probably in a few years, as there is not any sort of hint they are beginning to upgrade their towers.

I remember when I had my htc Evo 4g LTE and it did work..
I wonder why being a sprint phone it worked ad not on Samsung?
I believe it worked on WiMAX but when Sprint abandoned that and moved to LTE, that functionality disappeared. Beezar is right. Sprint won't have it again for a while.

The note 3 had separate antennas for data and voice.
Bluefox is right, sprint phones only have one antenna that the voice and data share. I've looking into this, and that's what I was told.
